This is what the critics say about Top Gun: Maverick
David Ehrlich of IndieWire: “Yes top gun it was a funny movie because it invented Tom Cruise, Maverick It’s a great movie because it immortalizes him.”
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter: “A superior sequel. […] It follows the original beat for beat, to a point that is almost comical. And yet, as formulaic as it is, there’s no denying that it offers both nostalgia and reinvention.”
Clarisse Loughrey of Independent: “The movie is a true legacy sequel. In the tradition of Star Wars: The Force Awakensis a carefully reconstructed clone of its predecessor, designed not only to reflect changing tastes and attitudes, but also its star Tom Cruise’s rise to a level of fame that borders on the mythological. […] Top Gun: Maverick it’s as exciting as blockbusters.”
Peter Debruge of Variety: “The commitment to film practically everything feels like the avant-garde equivalent of Hell’s Angelsby Howard Hughes, a film that made history”.
Justin Chang of Los Angeles Times: “Tony Scott fans may miss that edge of disrepute, the unrepentantly vulgar sensibility that made the top gun original a dreamy and voluptuous howl. […] Women are few and far between, and even the most prominent receive mostly perfunctory treatment.”
Matt Singer of Screen Crush: “The fights, chases and mid-air sequences are really remarkable, much clearer and much more intense than anything in the game. top gun original. […] Tom Cruise remains deeply ambivalent about the notion of passing the torch to a new generation on screen, so Top Gun: Maverick remains focused on Maverick and his story, sometimes to the detriment of the young cast.”
Top Gun: Maverickwith the return of Tom Cruise, It is projected in theaters in Latin America from May 26.
